Gaza Palestinians Send Bird Into Israel To Set Fires

Patrick Harmon

Israel has said they have only opened fire in self-defence or on people trying to infiltrate its territory under the cover of the protests. 100 days shoot and burn fields, but the Prime Minister arrived to talk to residents.

Speaking early Sunday, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear that Israel now regarded arson attacks in the same way it regarded rockets and mortars, meaning there could be no ceasefire with militants in Gaza if they kept launching incendiary kites and balloons over the fence. "This cease-fire, which Hamas has decided that it is a effect of the loss of control by the government, which takes decisions".

"I appeal to Israel, to be very restrained in its responses to the situation in Gaza".

Israel said it unleashed Saturday's barrage in response to weeks of violence along Gaza's border - including a grenade attack Friday that wounded an officer - as well as sustained Hamas rocket attacks and a campaign of incendiary devices floating over the border.

On Monday, Israeli aircraft bombed two Hamas posts after incendiary balloons caused four fires in Israel.

"As events over the weekend demonstrate, the situation in Gaza is extremely precarious", said Jamie McGoldrick, Humanitarian Coordinator for the occupied Palestinian territory, after visiting the Gaza Strip. Over 130 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since protests began on March 30.

Health officials in Gaza said the building was empty, but two Palestinians aged 15 and 16, among a crowd in a nearby public park, were killed.

At least two groups launched kites towards Israel on Sunday. The military said Hamas was using it as a training facility and had dug a tunnel underneath as part of its underground network.

Corker, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said the first step was to get Pompeo to appear, "hopefully" next week. But she took issue with the president's tone, saying Trump bullied other countries into something and then took credit for it.

Egypt succeeded in brokering yet another truce between the Palestinian factions and Israel in the Gaza Strip, however, it seemed fragile with the controversy over whether it should include the issue of flaming kites and balloons.

His trial is part of Israel's persistent pressure on global institutions and organizations that have been carrying out relief activities in Gaza since 2006, under the pretext that they "help Hamas".

"It does not have an interest in a (military) confrontation because the people don't want a war", Fadi said.

Israel hit dozens of sites it said belonged to militants in the Gaza Strip in Saturday's strikes, killing two Palestinian teenagers.

Israel denies using excessive force against protesters and accuses Hamas, the group that runs Gaza, of orchestrating the protests.

Meanwhile, Palestinians resistance forces have responded to the latest Israeli regime's aggression by firing more than 170 rockets.

Telling Palestinians in Gaza that he knew the difficult conditions they lived in and how hard it was to believe anyone who tells them that their lives would be improved, Mr. Mladenov appealed "to all Palestinians, to all parents of all children in Gaza today to step back and keep the protests peaceful".
